Wednesday the 10th of August 2022 – Kununurra, Western Australia

Kununurra , our first stop in WA.

From our free camp it was a relatively easy 200 K’s into Kununurra, although we did have to stop on the NT/WA border to be checked for veggies, fruit, honey & wood which is not allowed into WA from other states. I still don’t understand why but anyway we have nothing to declare and passed “muster”! We did make a mistake this morning as once we crossed the border the time went back 90 minutes so we had a bit of time to have a coffee before we could check into the park. We are now 2 hours behind the eastern states.

Sue’s thirsty, can’t wait to get into Hoochery!

After setting up the vans, it was off to refuel and do some shopping. It was surprising that the two supermarkets had little in the way of veggies and meat. Maybe the border inspectors confiscated the veggies from the transport trucks coming into WA? Then it was off for a bit of touristy things. Hoochery Distillery, Ivanhoe Crossing, quick look at the golf club (yes, I will have another CRAPP tomorrow) and then our happy hour on the banks of the Lily Creek Lagoon at our van park.

Andrew and I with our tasting paddles, not the best we have tasted but a least the paddles we’re relatively cheap but there was nothing under $78 a bottle if you bought either a rum, gin or whiskey product.
